YE EDITORS FAREWELL.

In the last issue of the Buffalo Wal.
tow World, We find the following:
With this number the time seems to
have fully arrived at which to cease the
publication of this paper. Many of our
subscribers will not even get this issue.
To be brief about it we are not permitted
to remove our print paper from the
Adams Express office this week, al
though we have never in these columns
said ought against Mr.. Adams or his
justly celebrated express. We have
paid many dollar into the G. o. d.
department of this mans express com
pany. Before we came West our ply
stefan told US we could not live without
cod liver oil, and, indeed he was right,
for have we not been G. O. D. liver
oil the time since VIC started this paper
This last remark is offered as gratui-
tous insult to every unpaid subscriber.
Paid up subscribers may omit it Or
we will goto them personally and apollo
gize.
But let us seriously review the past
two years history of the World What
have we not done TO aid and encourage
our infant industries and advance the
tagging interests of Buffalo Wallowl
Let our files say whether we have
done what we say or not. Let reluctant
capital paw over our pages, covering the
past, and, answer, if what we now state
be accurate
Have we not, at the instigation Of
leading citizens here, doomed the con-
dition of trade, when traffic was dead
and currency nothing but hollow
memory?
Have we not. through the columns of
World, asked that bank be established,
when as matter Of fact for year the
postoflice here has had to sell stamps
aud take the pay out of the store?
Have we not been gay and frolicsome
in these columns that the world at large
might not tumble to the woe within us :?
Have we not joked and punned and
froliced in print, when the north wind
was whispering abroad with his 10y
breath, he hath no Undertaking what
ever.
We have ever boon loyal to the town
in which we lived, and this last act 10
our career, shows how loyal the town
has been 10 US. Other newspaper men
with fewer brains and in better towns
have grown affluent. Low-browed jour.
nalists elsewhere, in towns that are pop
ulatcd by human beings, have done well,
while We with fatigued and vapid con-
stituency, have thrown away our two
best years, aud now 90 forth only with
what is exempt from seizure and sale
We kept quiet When the convention
made its nomination for member Of
the Assembly last year, and assisted in
bis election because he was Buffalo
Wallow citizen, well knowing even then
that le would DO the first man TO put
himself on the five cent counter. We
knew that he would take anything from
a pass to an unguardcd water melon.
But everybody said We should stand by
the nominations, especially 50 long as
the nominee was man who lived here.
So he went to the Legislature worked
for the better protection of muskrats
aud drowned his neighbors on every
corner. The pay was $3.50 for tho sea-
SOP, Of which he succeeded in paying
$500 board and 5000 whiskcy bills,
after which he found by system of
rigid economy, that he had still enough
left to purchase two-momcnt horse and
eyade the grand jury.
More than all that, we have sat up
nights TO edit and correct and revise the
alleged speeches of this man, so that his
fellow men would not think him tho in-
tclIectual blight that he is. All through
the campaign his imitation fioated about
in a pool Of red.eyed rum, like spcci-
mems in doctors Office, dancing on the
bosom Of jar Of alcohol. Then he
would emit speech To-day as tho re-
suit Of our toll, be is gay aud free in
Canada while we go forth to begin LIES
battle once more with the memory OF
having assisted an intellectual angle
worm where he could market his moth
eaten soul.
We have stood by the people OF Ruff
